Nick Mikhailovsky is co-founder and CEO of NTR Lab, which he began as a bootstrapped company in 2000. His strong managerial, communication and team-building skills, as well as rich technical expertise, were acquired through his 11-year pre-NTR experience consulting for customers such as Cray Research and the Central Bank of Russia. Nick's most outstanding accomplishments are in the areas of straight-through processing, information system architecture, credit risk estimation systems, and information retrieval systems. He graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in 1994; he also did postgraduate work and taught computer science and numerical mathematics. Nick has a wife and 3 kids, plays the guitar/sings and enjoys reading.

Anton Malkov is co-founder and COO. He graduated from Moscow State Technological University "Stankin" in 1993. Prior to NTR, Anton spent four years at the Central Bank of Russia, where his final position was Chief Specialist in the Software Development Department. In addition he has published multiple articles on IT. Anton is a family man with two daughters. His work and family are his two major "time-eaters", but when he does find time to himself he prefers to devote it to learning, reading, and travelling - an activity that he shares with his family. Among his more esoteric skills is the ability to drive a tank.

Leonid Birichevski is our Lead .Net developer, joining NTR in 2003 as applied software development specialist. He graduated in 1993 from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) as an engineering system analyst. He worked in two private companies where he gained extensive experience in technical support, internal corporate accounting software, customer support and network administration. Leonid has a wife and one son. He enjoys spending his free time with his family and friends in the countryside - in the forest, on a hike, near a river - sharing goodies, wine and playing dominoes; he's also a great handyman.
